Miss Corky and Tiny Tim: A World Almanac Folklore Snapshot
World Almanac Facts notes a 1967 anecdote about Tiny Tim born Herbert Khoury and of Lebanese Jewish descent. It recalls a Rudy Vallee record changing his singing style and a Valentine picture that spurred his long hair. Miss Corky, early fan, once gave him a cookie kept sealed in an old shampoo bottle.
